If you miss good shotguns, use anything else. (Destiny)

The current state of shotguns is so disappointing. I run Hawthorne's Field-Forged Shotgun pretty consistently for PvE. But reqlly for the most part swords do the same things but more efficiently. Shotguns need more range before their drop off to make them PvE viable. I have no comment on PvP because I never touch power ammo unless it is as a denial.

In pvp you generally want the grenade launcher "Play of the Game," a rocket launcher, or a sniper. Swords are okay but you have to get close. Shotguns are okay but you have to get close. Fusions are okay but shoot slowly (linear fusion rifle hype though). There will always be someone who is a pure master with one of the lesser used guns, but in general the above options will be most effective. I, for example, us play of the game. I used to use rockets (2 kills every time), but with play of the game I have a chance for as many as 4 kills, and still always get at least 2.
